There is also eel-Pied by the arm a coil spring e which surrounds the cylindrical section e and is confined between the hub c of the head and a. washer 8", whioh heme againei; the block or ring (Shown in Fig. 9.) The ollicc of this spring is to hold the nail-block e envoy from hhe ciriveohloolz e, so that the holes a shall not be occupied by any material length of the drivers e, or not euf fioient, at any rate, to prevent them from TG- ceiving the-coals of the nails of the ioerlerl heel-blank.
